Summary: Most important book ever written on fly fishing
Comment: I wish I could say I had read this book, but I really just dropped by to see how they handled the revision. The original edition could, arguably, have handled my review title. It was at once one of the most influential and controvercial books ever written on the subject. Influencial because it more or less kicked off the analytical scientific approach to fly fishing literature in the mid-seventies, and controvercial for everything from advocating no hackle dry flies, to short rods.
There isn't anything new in fly fishing, or at least that's a safe premise. How they got all this stuff in one book so early is a mystery. But even if it wasn't all new - some say no hackles were the first dry flies for instance, hundreds of years ago - there are books and times that come together in a fresh way.
Now can someone please tell me how they handled the revision, is it re-written, and re-thought, or just fact checked with some new photos? I couldn't tell by leafing through it at the local store.

Summary: Pretty good book.
Comment: If you want to get into fly fishing, have kids, friends, or other family that are interested in it, or just need some tips this is the book for you. I liked this book it was pretty helpful at teaching me some new technecs. Although if you like the "Dummy" or "complete Idiot's" series then you may not find this book to your liking, for as those series combined humor and info, this book is very serious.
